Hello Fellow Magnates!

We appreciate your patience as we gear up for the much-anticipated v0.8.11.1 update. This one's a game-changer, and we're excited to give you a sneak peek of what's in store and how you can be a part of it.

In this upcoming update, we're revamping the staff management/hiring system, and introducing staff traits/skills. This adds a layer of depth to staff management, allowing staff skills to directly impact their task performance. It's a strategic twist that we believe will elevate your decision-making!

But that's not all – we're introducing a new Guest Type: Casino Guests! As the name suggests, these guests are all about spending their time (and money) in your hotels casino. With them comes a suite of new casino furniture to enhance your gaming area.

We're currently in the testing phase and aim to release the update very soon. If you're interested in lending a hand with testing, join the Beta Branch on Steam, where the version is available. We kindly ask that any issues you come across be reported to us on our Discord – our dedicated testing hub. And for those who enjoy testing with us on Discord, we're introducing a testing role that grants you early access to future versions!

Your support and patience mean the world to us. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us!
